As an American citizen you have to have a photo ID.

Thanks for being here. I did not get to hear all of Senator Hawley's questions.

I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources be discharged from further consideration of S. 3086 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration; further, that the bill be considered read a third time…

Across the country, American families are fighting harder every week to make ends meet as they deal with President Biden's raging inflation crisis. Food prices are up. Gas prices remain at unbearably high levels, and too many families are…

on July 11, 2021, in an act of incredible bravery, thousands of freedom-loving people in Cuba collectively stood together to demand freedom from the oppressive Cuban dictatorship. They stood outside the headquarters of the Cuban Communist…

I am here today, along with my Republican colleagues, because American families are suffering. Florida families are suffering at the hand of the Biden administration's war on energy independence. Last month, I heard about a church in St…

If we are a donor State, then why should any of ours go up? If we have been a donor State for, what, now 40-plus years, right, it does not make sense.

Rick Scott's plan would sunset Social Security in five years.

This is clearly unacceptable, and fixing the dire financial situations of these programs will require congressional and presidential leadership.

There are few things more important than protecting and preserving America's fundamental safety net programs, specifically Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I am never going to support cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, and outside of Joe Biden I do not know too many other folks in Washington who want to see these programs be cut or go away either.

I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

The last time the OMB Director testified in front of this Committee I asked her what OMB and the Biden administration were doing to address the threatened state of Medicare and Social Security, that threatens millions of constituents in my…

As if in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to the consideration of S. Res. 663, submitted earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The legislative clerk read as…

nearly 6 years ago, our State, Nation, the city of Orlando, and Hispanic and LGBTQ communities were attacked. Forty-nine innocent and beautiful lives were lost. It was an evil and hateful act, an act of terrorism designed to divide us as a…

Today, I call on each of us, as members of the Committee on Education and Labor, to do everything we can to protect schools and communities from gun violence.

I don't think we should do this in an ex parte manner. I think everybody should be on the record.

at the end of April, I had the honor of traveling to Germany, Poland, and Lithuania to meet with American servicemembers and hear from high-level government officials on the state of democracy in Europe as Russia wages war against Ukraine…

When I heard the horrific news from Uvalde, TX, yesterday, I immediately thought of two things, my grandchildren, most of whom are in elementary school, and the 17 lives we lost in Parkland, FL, 4 years ago. Our hearts are shattered at the…

We could have prevented a lot of these this if elected leaders valued children and families more than guns.

Reserving the right to object. Throughout his presidency, Joe Biden and his administration have shown an inability to place qualified and competent people in many positions of power across the Federal Government. We have had crisis after…

Have skin in the game.

I disagree with my colleague's objection, but I think this issue is too important not to try to get something done today. So, instead of enacting this point of order when the CPI reaches 3 percent, how about we raise it to 8 percent? Our…

I am clearly disappointed that we have had three opportunities to try to do something here that was going to try to stop the reckless spending that is causing this inflation. I think all of us know that inflation is way too high. We also…

I was hoping we could arrive at a deal today, so let me try it one more time. Eight percent inflation, I think, is really high. Remember that the Federal Reserve's target is 2 percent. I am just here to see if we can work something out and…
